So my college buddies and I decided to go
south of Cebu for the 2nd day of our Summer Weekend Trilogy
Adventure.

A Taste Of Lechon In Carcar - Cebu!
When we say tasty Lechon, Cebu will always
top the list of its best providers. That’s why when I had my early summer
vacation in Cebu I asked my host if he can help us find good lechon. Jeremiah
(host), a very dear college buddy told me that we will go to Carcar for a
lechon stop before gracing our presence in Argao and Oslob – all part of the
Cebu’s southern route.

Cebu: Queen Of The South Summer Starter
Yes, summer is here... and a traveler takes advantage of this season to get the feet moving.
It is not my first time in Cebu but my first was cut short because our main destination back then was set to Bohol.
Luckily, I was invited by my college buddies who are currently residing there. From the airport, they asked me to go directly to SM Cebu which has travelers' lounge that caters luggages. I was only asked to pay 30 pesos for a whole day convenience.

Bon Appetit! Le Bistro - French Restaurant In Davao
So I had a mini meet-up with my barkada for
some weekend movie and good food. Gaisano Mall’s “The Peak” offers a
lot of restaurants to choose from such as Wings and Dips, Zabadani, Cafe
France, Don Beppe Ristorante Italiano, and many more.
At the 2nd level of “The Peak”, we saw this French restaurant -- Bon Appetit Le Bistro located in the corner of the area and so we decided to dine there for some tres dileceux French meal.

Casa Verde Restaurant In Cebu - New Favorite!
According to my friend, my Cebu experience
won’t be complete without having a taste of the best tasting baby back ribs in
town – at Casa Verde.
At Casa Verde, you can’t just walk-in and dine; you have to be on queue and get listed first. On the inside of the Ayala branch is pretty descent and clean. Same goes to the IT Park branch. Although, the staff of the latter is much friendlier than the former. Haven't tried the Ramos branch.

The Cebu Taoist Temple - Taoism Procedures
So I went to the Queen City last
weekend with my friends all the way from the City Of Durians for a quick weekend escapade. First stop is the Cebu Taoist Temple, which is located on the "hilly" part of Beverly Hills subdivision. The place can be reached by a private vehicle or a taxi (fare should be
within 150-200 range – one way from SM).
Green Tea Almond Freeziccino - We Want It Back!
All of us have our own signature favourite cooler!
As for me, Green Coffee’s limited edition Green Tea Almond Freeziccino is a
huge favourite – di nakakasawa!!!
I am not the only one who went crazy over this freeziccino, but also my close friends Melivea, Jenny and Abegail were always looking forward for the weekend to satisfy some sweet tooth.

Smash Project One More Time!
Smash Project is back on its 2nd instalment
this year featuring a new batch of pop-punk/alternative rock bands to be held
at the MOA Arena on March 2013.
This made me remember my one night of rock
music experience last year at Araneta Coliseum along with my good friend
Melivea.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - Guilty Pleasure!
“Forget love, I’d rather fall in Reese’s
peanut butter cups” - Sounds so "forever alone" but this gave me a good laugh when my friend texted me this.
Women crave foods due to unwanted stimuli
and our emotional state, rather than satisfying hunger. There are times we feel
anxious, hurt, stressed, or depressed and the only thing that can rescue us from
these feelings is our favourite food! So, one way of explaining cravings is
self-medication for feeling miserable. As for me, Reese’s is my maintenance
drug.
I believe it’s important to indulge once in a while and for me this usually involves Reese's peanut butter cups.

Chatime Davao At SM Lanang Premier
No one should feel lonely and hot during Christmas season, thank goodness!!! Chatime is now open at the biggest shopping mall in Mindanao - SM Lanang Premier. Ready to make this season more refreshing and.... COLDER!
I was curious of their milk tea selection especially when I saw their other branch in Hong Kong 2 years ago (when milk teas are not yet popular here!). However, I was not able to try it because it's not a good match for that time's chilly 13 degrees weather - bought Starbucks' caramel macchiato instead. And so, I just hankered!
Upon strolling around SM Lanang last Wednesday, I was surprised to see their stall at the main atrium thus I immediately dragged my two friends Elmer and Essa to try it as well.
Elmer tried Kumquat lemon juice, Essa - Chocolate mousse, and I ordered Taro milk tea. After a few sip, we all agreed to one word - Delicious!!!
My taro milk tea is sweet but not over the top. It has taro bits which makes it more enjoyable.
It is a great match for my all time favorite milk tea store - Gong Cha Philippines.
Location: At the main atrium of SM Lanang Premier beside The French Baker, below Starbucks'.
Price range: 80 pesos and up.
